LOL Its the new POD X3 Pro, This is my first time ever fucking with a pod. On e of the new features on this version of the pod is "Dual Tone" the ability to use 2 complete effects chains from one source, but my first impresions are they should have named it Phase Tone. Im only going to be using it for a reference tone while im recording guitar tracks, capturing the DI as well.

So you couldn't just get the bean-version for like a third of the price for that?

Ebay.
At first I was browsing parts to build one for myself from MSY but everything I wanted/needed would total over a grand and when I saw this beauty for 870 I couldn't pass it up.

a 6505 for a good price, a ts7 (as mentioned in by jbroll´s thread on tscreamers - thx for that thread, i´m already thinking of modding to 808 specs) and a thd hotplate from ebay.

Finally got the Tubescreamer parts and managed to build the thing:

Now it ain't pretty, but it works and sounds damn good. I chose to make it an 808, and inside the chassis there's a switch to turn the distortion to an SD-1'ish type when needed

I got the MusikDing kit, which was the easiest way for me and really cheap, too. I think the whole thing was about 36€ including the enclosure, PCB, pots, switches, knobs and postage. That's actually cheaper than it would've been to get the same parts separately from some local store :zombie:

 

[MetalJonesy]

wicked, ill definately check that out!! im in need of summat different to my sd1! shipping inside europe is great too, any reason y u went for the larger enclosure?

Well, the smaller one is only 1€ cheaper, and the bigger one gives a lot more room to cram the shit inside, so I didn't have to worry about short-circuits or bent joints when putting it together. A word of advice, though: an 850 watt drill hammer isn't the most sophisticated tool for drilling the holes, I damn near ripped the whole enclosure and both my legs apart when drilling

Just picked myself up one of these last night for 200 AUD. It needs a footswitch which shouldn't be too hard to find. [Marshall vs230] open back combo. Somewhere I read about a mod for these...looks like its time to do some searching.

 

[MetalJonesy]

i did the older marshall VS combos/heads very useable and dont sound half bad!!! been wanting a 100w head/combo i can make into a head for a while to add to the VS8080 custom head i have and VS65R (piece of crap but good cleans)
